That’s a 17 percent increase compared to the 150,000 viewers who tuned in for Bellator 38, which was the lowest-attended broadcast of the organization’s current 12-week season.

Bellator 39, which faced competition from CBS’ live coverage of the NCAA Final Four men’s basketball games, took place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. In addition to tourney-semifinal fights in the welterweight and lightweight divisions, the event featured a headliner between lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez and season-three tourney winner Pat Curran.

In addition to the 174,000 viewers who tuned in for the first Bellator 39 run at 9 p.m. ET/PT, MTV2 drew 89,000 viewers for the 11 p.m. replay.

MTV2, which is airing its first 12-week season of Bellator, caters mostly to a young-male demographic. Bellator events previously aired on ESPN Deportes and then FOX Sports Net affiliates.
